Shaw All-American forward Anthony
Greenup worked out for the Memphis Grizzlies June 3 and the Grizzlies
organization was very impressed with his workout.
The Grizzlies are not allowed to comment on individual player workouts but Tony
Barone, Jr., Grizzlies Director of Scouting did say, "[Anthony] is
a great kid." Others observing Greenup's workout included Grizzlies
head coach Hubie Brown and Director of Basketball Operations, Jerry West.
Greenup will work out for the Houston Rockets this week and the expansion
Charlotte Bobcats in late June.
"I
think the workout went pretty well," said a modest Greenup. "I
hit a lot of shots and blocked a lot of shots. I just did what I usually
do."
Greenup was named All-CIAA and CIAA Defensive Player of the Year. The Baton
Rouge, LA native led the nation in field goal percentage (.709), while
averaging 20.9 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game. He was the only
player in the country ranked in the top 30 in those categories.
The NBA Draft will be held June 24 in New York City at Madison Square
Garden.
